NI Balancing Gas Contracts (Buy/Sell)

14) In Great Britain for all listed balancing products: Sales/Purchases used for weighted average prices and marginal prices if action is taken to address National Balance (code NB01/NS01). This template has been filled out regarding National Grid's role as Residual Balancer only. Assumes trading platform is available, in the event of the trading platform being unavailable contingency arrangements can be invoked which use bilateral arrange- ments. 15) The traded quantity is locked down and cannot be re-nominated against, meaning a physical response is more likely. A physical trade can be for gas at any point on the network, a locational trade is for a specific point (meter) on the network. 16) Multi day trades can be used when a Gas Deficit Warning has been issued and are buying gas for a number of days (up to 7 days ahead). Otherwise essentially the same as WD or DA locational trades. 17) Multi day DSR trades are similar to normal multi day trades and were bought in last October as part of measures to improve routes to market for reducing the severity/duration of a Gas Deficit Emergency. Multi day trades would only really be used in the event of a Gas Deficit Warning being issued, so rarely if ever used.

* Product and/or balancing platform approved under interim measures by NRA. ** Products in UK-GB which can used during a Gas deficit Emergency.
